Any private citizens' group in Nova Scotia which wants to provide roadside
litter clean-up for 1 day along an approved section of secondary road,
under the "Adopt-A-Highway" Program. (This excludes
100-series highways.)

This permit is issued by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal.

Application Forms & Process:

The group wanting this permit must first be approved under the Litter
Clean-Up (Adopt-a-Highway) Permit. They can then apply to any District
or Area Office of the N.S. Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal
for the permit itself.

The Women's Institutes of Nova Scotia coordinate the activities of all
participating community groups.

The Adopt-A-Highway Program is an international roadside litter cleanup
initiative. In Nova Scotia, the program was started in 1997 by the Women's
Institutes of Nova Scotia, the Lions Clubs and Clean Nova Scotia. The Departments
of Environment, Communities, Culture and Heritage, Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal and the Resource Recovery Fund Board continue to be strong supporters
of this program.
